Episode 202 - The Haunting Murder of Matthew Shepard - a podcast by True Crime with Suruthi & Hannah

On the 7th of October 1998, 21-year old Matthew Shepard was found tied to a prairie fence at the end of a remote dirt track in Laramie, Wyoming. The young gay man had been pistol-whipped in the head over 20 times, and his brain stem had been crushed. He died 6 days later in hospital. 
This case went on to become arguably the most infamous gay hate crime in modern history, and for many Matthew became a martyr. 
In this episode, the girls examine what happened that night, the defendants’ muddled legal decisions, and the latest "bombshell evidence"…
